to have sasuke here, WITH HIM, filled his entire being with a sort of contentment that he hadn’t felt in a long time. the war seemed such a lifetime ago, yet still FRESH in his mind, the deaths of his comrades still weighing heavily on his heart. but, now there was peace, and sasuke was home. naruto could finally rest. and he would bask in every minute of it.
stretching out his limbs, nestling further into sasuke’s lap, he couldn’t help the exuberant grin that took over whiskered features. ‘ mmm ‘ he hummed happily, staring back up at sasuke, that ever pensive expression unyielding, save for the slight flush of his cheeks. that naruto certainly took notice of. it only coaxed the mirth he felt to practically RADIATE OFF OF HIM ‘ ya -- but, your life would be boring without me. besides i might actually believe you ..... if you weren’t blushing.’ he points out, teasingly.
